Taylor Frankie Paul announced on social media Monday that she is stepping away from 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' and does not plan to return for a second season, citing bullying from other cast members, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Paul, whose 2022 disclosure about 'soft swinging' among Mormon TikTok influencers sparked the show's creation, said she no longer wants to continue with the series. She has been at the center of the show's most controversial storylines, including legal troubles stemming from a domestic violence arrest.

The announcement comes weeks after the Hulu reality series became the streaming service's most-watched unscripted premiere of 2026. It remains unclear whether Hulu has greenlit a second season or how Paul's departure would affect future production.
